Anyone else noticing they're rather pegasus-heavy on this line so far?I really hope we see a unicorn, or Luna! I do like how a stallion is included, though.
Are the Dash and Ditzy ponies sold out for good? I didn't like them enough at first to get right on the ball, but the more and more I see them....
And then someone posted the link here to the official site, and now I need a collection of Michael Jackson and Muppet POPs. *sigh* If you buy a single pony....
What other stores besides Barnes & Noble carry Funko figures? I want to know where to keep an eye out for Fluttershy. I can get it from B&N since it's just down the street, but every non-book item they sell is super over-priced and I'm sure these wouldn't be an exception.Hott Topic, online and in stores, have started carrying the Funko ponies. I managed to get the Ditzy Doo pony from my nearby Hot Topic yesterday. She was $14.70, without tax.

The Doctor is an interesting choice, not something I'd buy, but it's nice to see them making a character who would have had pretty much zero chance of getting a brushable. I wonder if they'll do all the Mane Six and fandom "background six"? I'd love Octavia.
And it's nice Fluttershy is getting another toy that actually has her proper hair.
Wait, I thought his name was "Time Turner"? Oh well, I'm psyched to have a boy pony character to put with my Shining Armor! I can't wait to see what he looks like! And I hope they get Fluttershy's hairstyle right lol. They done goofed with her BB hair :P
I vote Rarity next!
I want Big Mac & Applejack next.
I really like that they're going to be making more of these, but does the box really have to say "vinyl collectible"? I hate it when a toy says it's "collectible" or "collector's edition" on the box.
I know what they're for. My post was about the word being on the box. Kidrobot is able to convey it without having the word being part of the display, so I think other companies could do it, too. I like the way these Funko MLPs display except for those two words at the top.I really like that they're going to be making more of these, but does the box really have to say "vinyl collectible"?

It IS a collectible. Like Tokidoki vinyl collectables, where it clearly says on the box that it's collectable art and not a toy. These are meant to be displayed more than played with.
I keep seeing it on We Love Fine and that they said they planned on changing merchandise to Doctor Hooves.

Unless that's changed by now?
Licensing is a little different however and printing it on a t-shirt is different from making a toy/collectable but perhaps using Funko is how HB are going to get around 1) satisfying the fans who seem to want moulded ponies and 2) releasing characters that they simply cant or don't want to release in the actual toy line.

I feel that the word is used to help bolster sales, to make people think they're getting something that's of higher value than the "regular" toy, when it'll be up to the collector's market in the end.
Ugh, even though no one seemed to share my opinion in the last thread, I'll say it again. Can't we get the Mane 6 before all the background ponies? I personally just don't care for them...I think getting "more of the mane 6" is what people complain about the most 'round here- so there is probably a reason no one agreed with you.

I actually think that it is genius of Funko to release a standard character together with a background character that is very unlikely to ever be released en mass- so fun! I really hope they keep doing this and it doesn't fizzle- but given the popularity thus far, I am pretty optimistic on that front.
Given how fast the last set was announced and then appeared and then sold out- I find myself checking Hottopic.com obsessively.... I know they will probably appear in stores too- but the nearest Hottopic is QUITE a drive for me, so I never ever go there. I wish the'd give us a time frame (or did they and maybe I missed it?)
The shipping price mostly has to do with insurance. ebay sellers can do about $15 cheapest (but scalp for $30 or u watch the auction skyrocket anyway), Hot Topic does $30+ insured.
I just wish they would tell us if they would be available in Aussie stores! There's several here that carry Funko items and I'd rather buy these in person or at least online from an AU store so the shipping wasn't too painful. Of course emailing the stores usually gets nada info too
Those two are wise choices, by that logic I would guess DJ and AJ w/ hat & freckles next wave. I'm sure I'll be wrong though, as I wouldn't have predicted Doc Hooves.An AJ with freckles and the correct hat would be absolutely fabulous!! I hate the pink hat that my fs applejack came with.

You should try speaking to Funko via facebook or twitter - they are a really social media friendly company and putting a simple question like whether they know if the lines are being taken on by any retailers in Aus may be something they can tell you.
Asking the stores whether they will be ordering the Funko ponies is a great idea- because it means that Funko will be able to make more of them-

Already did just last night lol, Funko replied and told me to contact stores that carry Funko and ask them if they will be ordering the ponies... which I had already done, just waiting for a reply from them too. *twitch* :lol:
it's sometimes hard to get a reply from stores, and I only know of 3 that carry any funko I think? *fingers crossed*
I think Trixie, DJ-Pon, and Octavia are the most likely background characters to appear! Lyra and Big Mac maybe- but they seem to appear less often on these sites...
I'd sure like a Rarity one. She never get any love. :(I'd love to see one of Rarity, too. :heart: She's my favorite FiM pony, but she doesn't get as much love compared to the others.

I don't know if anyone is interested to know this but I got a little info from Funko about these.
Hot Topic has an exclusive selling period deal, we shouldn't see these for sale anywhere else until Feb/March 2013.
I'd sure like a Rarity one. She never get any love. :(
I suppose it's because parents will see these, see the words "My Little Pony" and assume (rightly so, really) it would be a good toy for their children. And they're not suitable for kids, those hairstyles look sharp! As this is the first time ever that pony figures have been marketed to adults, they're really just trying to convey the 'not for children' angle.
It looks Bubbles and RD are IN STOCK right now on HotTopic website???

Every time I see a new post in this thread, I think they went ahead and released a second set. Sadly, this isn't the case again lol.
:lol: Me three. I've been waiting for proto images or... any new news to pop up about Fluttershy and Dr. Hooves release.Every time I see a new post in this thread, I think they went ahead and released a second set. Sadly, this isn't the case again lol.
Hahha, me too. I've been keeping an eye out to notify my non-collector friend. She's a major Doctor Who fan, so you can guess which pony she wants.
Should be available in Hot Topic stores mid February.
Eh, more excited for Fluttershy to be honest...
PICTURE!!!! and pre-orders start next week! :frolic:OMG, I NEED those Fluttershy's! Thanks for sharing those pics!!

I'm thinking that they will do a release of 1 of the mane 6 and a special backgroud pony or something.
I just think the translucent Time Turner/Dr Hooves looks like a giant cola flavoured gummy :PHe does! But I like it. I think I'll get both the translucent ones.
Are they making all four for sure? Or just teasing us with crystal ones?
Maybe those are just the prototypes? Doesn't mean they'll all be released.
Maybe those are just the prototypes? Doesn't mean they'll all be released.
I hope the ones released are matte like the other two. :sMaybe those are just the prototypes? Doesn't mean they'll all be released.
The image was posted by Hot Topic themselves so yes you are right it doesnt 100% guarantee them but it does make it pretty likely.
I think his hair is supposed to be spikey-ish- you just can't tell from the pic they used.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
The tips on RD's mane were SUPER sharp and spikey- maybe they got complaints and rounded out the sharp bits.
I have a couple of the prototypes on the way and will be happy to share some better pics when they get here (dying now to see them)
As much as I love these, I am REALLY disappointed that these are so static. I definitely want them but c'mon! Is every single release going to be in such a boring pose? Have we already talked about this? If so, I apologize and please disregard my comments.
UP FOR PREORDER NOW ON HOTTOPIC.COM!!!
It says 1 in 24 will receive the sparkly so there's no way to choose, but I hope I get the non-sparkly version.

Funko has chase figures. Usually 1 in every case. The ponies are a case of 24 and so 1 out of every 24 is the sparkly one so that's the chase figure.
I'm trying to decide if I should order more than 1 of each to improve my chances of getting a chase....
I think that is evil. I'm not happy.But now you can buy (overpriced)6 instead of (overpriced)2! Who doesn't want to spend $100 for a complete set?
Ordered mine. I really don't want the sparkle figures but i AM interested if these are blind boxed packed this time around!I don't think they will be blind boxed. I've collected funkos other lines of toys/collectibles for years. One of the lines I collect is the pop figures. So in a master case (36) of say Wonder Woman 35 will be the regular Wonder Woman figure but 1 will be a chase in the case of Wonder Woman the chase has metallic paint. But for some of the other figures might have blood splatter (horror line), glow in the dark or in the case of the MLP be 'glittery'. In all cases they are in regular boxes but the 'chase' figures have a small sticker on the window. Here are a few pics (wonder woman's chase is pretty subtle but here is pics of flash) regular
Noooo! Chase figures, really?! :yikes: That's disappointing. Maybe I need to re-evaluate how I collect these. I really do want all of them but I don't want to kill the fun by stressing over seeking the variants out either. :pullhair: I'm not even sure I want to pre-order these now. Maybe I will just wait to see what I can find in stores because if I only get 2 I want regular Fluttershy and regular Dr. Whooves with the green tie (because that is what color his tie is when he wears one in "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000"). I do have some consolation in knowing that the MLP Funko figures will no longer be exclusive to Hot Topic come spring so maybe they won't be impossible to find but >_< this news is frustrating. How much do I really want those darn glittery ones? Probably... a lot. :doh:

Does anyone have pictures of the Rainbow Dash eye variations? I'm try to figure out which one I have now, and if I can go the store and pick the other one or not. I know someone posted them, but I can't remember which was new and which was old.
I noticed that too, octocorn. You'd think they'd put them right at the top of the pony section.
Any very nice wonderful Americans willing to pick up a pony each for a Canadian? the shipping over here is $40 :( I'm only after the solid coloured ones, so if buy chance it comes as the chase figure, I would HAPPILY just take the solid one instead. Of course I would pay my share, plus all of your shipping fees! PLUS, its cheaper for everyone if we buy more with the promo codes!!!
Anyone, pretty please??

Blind boxes?, only one clear pony in a set of 25? that's NOT fair :enraged: the only funko pony I'm interested is the clear Time Turner, because I'm a lover of the sparkle ponies since I was a child and the idea of a clear stallion is super neat, but they ruined it by making the choice of the blind boxes. :yikes:I don't think anyone confirmed there would be blind boxes, it was just speculation. most likely there won't be.

Thanks for posting these. I didn't realize you didn't have to actually earn them to use them. XD I just placed a second order and got $30 off. ^.^
Oh, this is really tempting to pre-order. Getting a Fluttershy for my boyfriend would be a nice little mini-gag Valentine's gift, considering I jokingly refer to him as a "male Fluttershy" due to how alike they are. XD
I apologize for asking this, but the "sparkly variant" the clear one? I wanna assume it's that clear variant that is on the HT site, but I am a bit bummed because that "clear Cola" Time Turner is the 1/24 variant (and I like it more than the regular Time Turner one).
I hope that they are planning on having the sparkly ones in the stores. I went several times and it appears that I was the only one who seemed interested in Dashie and Bubble butt, so I have good odds of getting a sparkle pony in person. If not, I think it's a gamble (for me) to spend that kind of money in hopes of getting one, blind bags aren't so bad because they're always $5.00 or under. If not, I think I can live without them, as I'm just mostly interested in Fluttershy! I might have to get one for my nephew this summer for his birthday
the clear doctor and flutter shy are there. :) Such a bargain with the promo codes. Hot topic have some great sales. I wish the non-clear ones would go back while the sale is still there, but I'm sure they'll be there eventually.Re-read the pages. Those are the non-clear (and 1/24 chance at clear) versions. They show pictures for both kinds and you randomly get one or the other type.
It's actually just speculation at this point that there are red and green tie versions of the clear Dr. Whooves, I think. The Hot Topic website says nothing about it and both known pics of him have a red tie. So while it may be true we shouldn't take it as fact quite yet.

I'm just afraid the employees will buy them all up before they're put out if the variants are this limited. I usually don't pre order things, but the hot topic employee scared me into it this time. He told me that the stores were getting a limited number of these after the online preorder. I hope that he was just lying to me trying to make more sales because I know that the previous ones were restocked several times and still in stock. I just wasn't about to take any chances and miss out on my little Fluttershy.
Here's how the new funko fluttershy compares in size and design to the design-a-pony (threw a g4 for further size clarification). I like the funko pony's sculpt much better! :D

THIS.
Entertainment Earth appears to have the ponies available for $13.99 (Dash & D available- Preorders of Dr. & Fluttershy) - cheaper than Hot Topic! Maybe the 6 month exclusivity thing has expired?

Guess that resolves the debate about the packaging. No mention on EE about the chase figures- wonder if that is a Hot Topic thing ?
Does anyone have a working code? I was going to buy 2 Fluttershy figures, but both of the $15 off $30 codes posted in this thread don't work anymore and I can't bring myself to pay full price for them.

It's cheaper than Hot Topic until you get to shipping. I was going to pre-order two Fluttershys, but with shipping, it's going to be $18 per figure.
I just saw this video of Funko's pony display at Toy Fair. Thought I'd share :)cool video :) tomorrow is their release :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIx2Dhwx4tk
Fluttershy looks soooo adorable! Only a few more days until these are supposed to come in stock!
edit: Also I saw on Funko's FB that Hot Topic should be announcing the next release within the next month!
They have started to ship! Just got confirmation in my email that mine have shipped.
I'm hoping my local HT gets them soon. While I really wanted a chance at receiving a chase figure, I decided not to pre-order because I want make sure I get the solid color Dr. Whooves with the green tie.
I called and they said they don't know when they will get them or how many they will receive when they do and have gotten 3 calls already this morning asking about these! :drunk:
Haven't received my confirmation yet either, Galactica. Perhaps they're holding off a bit on those of us who ordered a bunch?they went out of stock for a bit, so perhaps the people getting notifications ordered the first batch that was available.

No email confirmation for me yet, but I'm hopeful I'll get my ponies in next week... preferably not while I'm at work.

I ordered from the second batch (after that first batch was sold out), and I got my confirmation email this morning.

Since I know some people have already received theirs maybe someone could answer a question I have about regular Fluttershy... is she shiny? Or is she matte like RD & Ditzy???they are going to be shiny, RD and Ditzy were shiny on their second run, only the first run were matte
4 of my ponies came today. No glittery chases. Both of my Doctor Whooves have green ties; I was at least hoping for one of each with those. BUT I forgot I had placed an order under another email, and the money was taken off the card today, so I have another of each pony on their way to me. Not too hopeful about the chases, but I'm hoping I'll at least get a red tie.wow congrats :) she looks so shiny ,very cool :) , Hope you get the chase ones on the next order :) If you don't and you have a Hot Topic store close,they might be able to exchange them ,no??
Here's Fluttershy. She's so beautiful.

Mine arrived just now. I got plain green tie and plain FS. Still happy. I'll have to check out hot topics near me for the clear ones though, as I'm obsessed with translucent ponies.same here , I would have to check the stores and check for the translucent ones
Mine arrived today. I got regular Fluttershy and regular red tie Dr. Whooves. The quality of my Fluttershy is pretty disappointing... She has some sort of gap in her tail and dirty, grey, dried glue on one one of her legs. :/ Not sure how I'll go about trying to remove that.

Gap in the tail, like it wasn't pushed in all the way and glued like that? Because my second wave Funko Ditzy is the same way.
(My new Funkos came in while I was at work; both normal.)
Anyone know when they are supposed to be released in stores?I went to the store on the listed street date of feb 22 looking for them and the employee there told me that he didn't know when they would arrive in stores and that's why he told me to preorder online because it could be up to a month before they show up on the shelves. I told him that I DID preorder but still wanted to check the store for them.
Anyone know when they are supposed to be released in stores?I just saw on EQD that someone posted a pic on them at a Hot Topic in Utah. So I'm guessing that by next week at the latest, most stores should have them in. :D
Yes, like part of the end of her tail wasn't pushed in all the way and they glued it like that. I didn't know that was a problem with Ditzy too! Lame.My Fluttershy has the same thing with her tail as well. I had thought it was "meant" to be that way. ;_;
Well I found out today that my Hot Topic is closing, so no sparkle ponies for me, I guess. I'm not willing to order anymore, since I already have three Fluttershy's and three Doctor Whooves :lol:
Finally got mine too! Looks like a truckload of regular Fluttershys, a couple of Whooves, and not a glittery flank in sight. Ah well. I knew I should have ordered 25 of each (but can you imagine the box that would have arrived? Lol)

I found a glitter variant Fluttershy for $30 on Amazon so I snapped her up to go with my variant Dr. Whooves. Still need a green tie regular Dr. Whooves though.

That was lucky! I saw this listing for what APPEARED to be the variant FS, but actually, if you read carefully- the listing says 1 in 24 will be the variant. I think the listing is rather misleading...http://www.amazon.com/Little-Fluttershy-Variant-Figure-Pre-Order/dp/B00B30QF14/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1362427493&sr=8-3&keywords=funko+pony (http://www.amazon.com/Little-Fluttershy-Variant-Figure-Pre-Order/dp/B00B30QF14/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1362427493&sr=8-3&keywords=funko+pony)

Ugh, that listing is CLEARLY trying to pull the wool over people's eyes. They put 'varient' in the title and post the sparkly version as the first pic, then put 'no choice' in smaller print after you have to scroll down. It's all about greed with some sellers... People make me sick sometimes...
Is that not how Hot Topic have listed them on their website though? With the "variant" part in the title? Misleading yes but it looks like a replicated listing.

Mine was from ToyWiz on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BMDCDDG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 She showed up today and is most definitely the sparkly version :) I'm hugely impressed that ToyWiz didn't inflate the price like a lot of other sellers (I'm looking at you, $120 BIN eBay auctions :hmm:).
The 'variant' part in the title is pretty misleading but you'd think the two different pictures would lead most buyers to investigate further to find out what they were getting. Hopefully it didn't disappoint too many people.
I'm a little sad about Hot Topic exclusives. There are only 4 Hot Topics in the entirety of Canada, and I live nowhere near them >.<
Toy Wiz now has the sitting pony funco figures available for pre order:
http://www.toywiz.com/funkomlp.html
So unfortunately I just pre-ordered my ponies only to trot on over to EQD only to discover they have a discount code posted! So for any of you planning to pre-order the new ponies, don't forget to put in the discount code: EQDpop - for an extra 10% off.

See if you can cancel the first order and place another one using the promo code. That is what I did with Hot Topic for the Funko vinyls.
I noticed someone saying on Facebook that it would cost $60 to get the full set shipped over to Australia! My local Tassie brony group really wants to get a hold on some. Would we be best off a) finding a friend in America to ship them to us, b) making a bulk order to split the shipping costs, or c) asking stores if they can get them in stock? I know EB Games stocks the Pop! figures, so I just sent over a casual facebook enquiry, but I'm not sure. I really really want them though!
Toywiz shouldn't be able to sell them but they always have exclusives whether they are from Hot Topic or Target. As you know retailers like Hot Topic pay a premium or an inflated unit price in order to get exclusively on items so there is no way Hasbro are selling the same item to ToyWiz. There prices are always a touch over inflated [this perhaps being an exception], so I think they must simply buy retail in bulk like the rest of us and then sell on.

I suspect these will be available everywhere- since both Toywiz and BigBadToystore have them as available starting in April- these figures don't appear to be subject to the 6 month hot topic exclusivity thing. So probably in late April or May- you will start seeing them wherever you normally find Funko products sold.
The Funko people actually encourage people to contact their retailers (ie comic book shops, bookstores) and ask them to carry the products- because they just might put an order in if they get a couple requests...
Finally tracked down a sparkly FS, still don't have Whooves yet- but look how cool my sparkly army looks!that Pegasus looks awesome, is not MLP is it??

Forbidden Planet in the UK already has them up for pre order...for the next releases they have a confirmed international release so perhaps you ll be able to pick them up at a better price? :)
So I ran across this last month- but forgot to bring it up. Did anyone else see this in various news sites? Hot Topic said on their facebook page in March that they were expecting
Pinkie & Lyra (which we already knew) and/or Pon-3 and Octavia as the next Funko ponies.

I wonder what they mean by the "larger" comment. I can only guess they are referring to the Alicorns, Chrysalis and/or Discord... !
Anyone have any newer info ? Still no sign of the prototypes from any of these.

Most recently Hot Topic has said pre-orders for Pinkie Pie and Lyra will go up in June and release will be in July.
I'm pretty sure I remember them posting on fb as well that they are hoping to be able to have alicorn Twilight.
I'm gonna go so broke this year... I can't wait for these to come out!

Oh, yay! I wonder if it'll be attached to her the way that fakie "Pineapplejack's" was, though. Hmm.... I can't wait to see.

I bet she'll have it on her head, molded on. Funko doesn't really make removable accessories.
ditto.I just saw a post on Hot Topic's FB that said when they do release Applejack she WILL have her hat! Cool!
I wonder if it will be molded on, or removable. I want AJ desperately, but not with that blasted hat of hers.
Eeeeeeeee! I found Sparkly Fluttershy today!
